Relevant fellowship schemes

There are many different Fellowship schemes and opportunities, funded both internally and externally.

The deadlines for these schemes vary, and you should contact the Department well in advance of these deadlines (we advise 3-12 months before the final deadline).

You should also double-check each scheme’s eligibility criteria to ensure that you’re a good fit.
